DCI HQ is in MSP is it not? Could be just a meeting.


Or maybe overnight a new aircraft manufacture started in MSP and he is going to order the rest of the airplanes. This will be the end of the speculation on where the 500 are coming.

Vision for '500 planes' in '50 states'...
Email from CP acknowledging 'consolidation comes to regional airlines'...
Further notices talking about 'acquisition opportunities'...

I'm not getting the idea that this Mesaba/Colgan/Pinnacle thing is the last chapter.

I think I am missing something. I looked-and didn't see anything unusual.

You have to dig a little but there are some ORD mechanic positions.

Interesting...

I wouldn't get too excited. We also have MX bases in Columbia, BTR, VPS, etc...

Yikes, why would anyone willingly go to the Chicago area? It's cold, It's nasty, and the people from there are rude, ORD is awful, there are NOOO redeeming qualities about Chicago in any way, shape, or form.


No, nothing to be excited about.


:laugh:

That's true. And I've personally written up a thing or two in ORD and had to wait an hour for SKYW MX to show up.

Holy Crap!!!!

-Uncle Rico is going to buy MSP!

-AWESOME!!

Now that's funny. I don't care who you are. Bravo, sir. Bravo.

I can't figure out if you are being sarcastic or not.

Breaking News:

When airplanes break there needs to be a mechanic around to fix them.

The two things I hate the most:

1) People who are intolerant of other cultures.
2) The Dutch

confirmed with a few skywest mechanics that they received emails recently regarding a MX base in PHX for whatever reason, they wouldnt go into detail.

Look at the latest headlines magazine. There are some routes on there that we don't currently fly. PHX-MEM. MEM-AUS and a few others. Sounds more like Delta, but who knows.

Skywest Airlines taking over the USAirways Express flying from Mesa, also a new crew base for OO.

 

[enuffalready]

possible?

Is it possible that BH news of compass/etc....and if oo gets another base..and ASA gets nothing....is the vision total bs? I would love it to be even 50% true....just thinking out loud

We're also adding DFW-IAD. I guess that means we're buying Eagle!!!

C'mon...Use your brains, folks. It's the DL shell game. When you see ATL, MSP, SLC, MEM, DTW...it should be a no brainer. When you see IAD, ORD, DEN, SFO (I don't include LAX because that could go either way), you should be thinking UA.

When you start to see PHX-COS, PHX-PSP, PHX-SLC, PHX-FAT, and PHX-SGU on the route map, then you can start the US Airways chatter.

PHX-SGU? HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!! Yeah right along with LAX-SGU!

Um, yes.

Windshear: Vision:

15 kntots/ 50 States
500 fpm/ 500 airplanes
5 degrees pitch/ 50 million pax

The "vision" was born of a late night between a marketing chick and a sim instructor. Duh.
